There are many legitimate views on this, but FWIW mine differs from yours. I believe that anonymity actually is important for a site like Hacker News, and the odds of us ever publishing the vote data—even pseudo-anonymized—are small. Sorry to disappoint.
Daniel, I understand. Do you or any others at Y-Combinator have any thoughts on how the hacker community could experiment in the areas I mention above, or whether you guys even think such experimentation would be valuable?
